They are leaving California's beach to come home 

~for a short visit~

so I will be taking a summer break from blogging...

Square Wing Tip Dragonfly

I saw this unusual dragonfly in Georgia - July 2012...
I had never seen this dragonfly with a square wing tip before.

They were flying around very fast...so I grabbed my camera.

A few minutes later...there were two

PS: This detailed photo was emailed to me.
He saw this unusual dragonfly in Michigan on his window.

My Maypop Surprise

I had never seen this flower before except on the net...
so it was a thrill to get a photo of a bumblebee strolling around on it

When I first saw this flower blooming in the weeds...
I said "Hubs, look there is a ballerina looking flower"

It is a purple passion flower...with the name of 'maypop'

net says this is an edible apricot when it ripens...I will taste it then

I am always amazed at the beauty that can be found hiding among the weeds!

Doctors, Doctors, Doctors

These flowers have nothing to do with a doctor...

however I like its bright color though it has a spider on it.

I have been visiting a lot of doctors lately...

 for 

check ups and follow ups.

I do get tired of visiting doctors

but I am thankful I have modern medicines!

Facing a Giant

This snapshot moment happened at my Dads house. 

Peanut (my sisters little dog) is barking ferociously at the door when he sees the neighbors dog standing outside...

I will try to remember the analogies in this pic
when I face the giants in my life!
